Disgusting! Nothing good abt Africa

15 years u say, that's a long duration my brother compared to the sham roads Rochas claimed to have constructed last year not even a piece of asphalt can be traced in any of those roads 2day. The roads no even survive 365 days lol.

am not his fan in any way I only criticised his work without resorting to insults nor uneccesary praises to him.we are not in europe and can't attain the same level of infrasructural developement with the europeans

Haba, so sidewalk for pedestrians is now another luxury? No wonder Okupe said we don't deserve new trains!

[size=15pt]TELL THE GOVERNOR HE'S A BASTARD AND A CRIMINAL. WHERE ARE PEDESTRIANS SUPPOSED TO WALK ALONG THIS PRIMITIVE SO CALLED ROAD? WHY ARE THE DRAINS NOT COVERED?

ANIMAL IN HUMAN SKIN CLAIMING TO BE A GOVERNOR![/size]

Na Wa O! So it's now become impossible to have a civil discussion, with CIVIL language between grown-ups on Nairaland.
Politics has poisoned our souls, what a shame.

Abagworo:


That road is an inner road and if Nigerian inner roads can be like this I will appreciate. I must state however that Okezie Ikpeazu is the only Governor that is constructing long stretch of major road with underground drainage in the entire East apart from Amaechi who is no longer a Governor. Rochas Okorocha tried in covering drainages on Orlu and Wetheral Road in Owerri but the roads he started from scratch have short covered drainage at Dee Sam. I give it to Ikpeazu in this regard. Aba-Owerri Road will be the 1st of its kind in recent history of Southeast.

Abagworo, you have brought Rochas Okorocha govt wahala in here. Why? See what Rochas govt left of most of the roads in Orlu which he scrapped about four years ago and abandoned.
All appeals, all criticisms, all entreaties to Rochas Okorocha to remedy the roads have fallen on deaf ears. Rochas is like Ochendo who believed that the state capital is all there is for development in a state.

What have people in Orlu done bad to Rochas Okorocha?

This road is Amaigbo Road, the most traveled road in Orlu that connects to Mbano to Umuahia. So many other spots like this litter all over the place in Orlu.

Lubbish... That cement road will not last more than a year, with the rate of heavy duty trucks that plies every nook and cranny of Aba. Go and see the silly drainage they're building along Aba-Owerri, at Umungasi market and Osisioma. It has take them more than 4 months in that drainage and work done so far is from here to there.

Tell your Governor to visit Enugu and see the quality of roads done in that state.


The annoying part of it that the contractors doing the works doesn't have LABEL.

Faulks road by power line nko? Aba guru agu nwanne m

Rubbish!!

The major Road to work on is the Ph Road all the way frm Aba main park to flyover, its a FG Rd and I believe that for yrs during Ochendo's tenure dat rd has been ignored and its allocation swallow by the thief Ochendo, that Rd is in a very bad shape for over 2 yrs nw... Then faulks Rd is another target to Ariaria intl mkt, until he does the needful to the afor-mentioned rds and other major rds dats when I'll know he has started working...this one is an eye service, to praise himself and feel among, as well as please his crazy ngwa people. Mtwww!!!

Road with no good drainage system is waste of money.

I believe it will last

Why the vex and incantation?

Well done Ikpeazu. Alas, you come to the rescue of Enyimba city, the pride of the average Igbo man, the city one can migrate to with little or nothing, but return home with a lot of wealth.

Thanks Ikpeazu for understanding that no state was created to have the governors fixated only on pouring the state's money on development of only the state capital.

In Imo state, Okorocha's deputy in an interview on vanguard last two months told the world that Okorocha made 75% of whatever development he did in four years in Imo state on the state capital. Analysts believe it is more than 95%.

you people can lie, the road is normal asphalt built. its winners junction that I cross everyday to school.

He should have used interlocking instead.

francondu:
Good but not good enough. Oomnne Drive road Osisioma Aba, one of the roads Abia State Government is using cement based tecnology to build. This road is nearing completion but by looking at the texture and thickness of the road though from picture perspective,I don't think this road will last for more than 15 years. My opinion, I may be wrong though.

studio14:
they used tax payers money to build road without pedestrian walk you want me to see it, tell him to build roads like we have them in Europe and other African countries, this 21scentury, if he cannot build without pedestrian walk .

Gbam

Imagine as wide as the drainage in the reconstructed uselu road in benin, Edo State without cover and no single pedestrian flyover. you can imagine people/uniben student cross that road. cars do fall into the drainage too

Some states I have being to don't have a single drainage in major roads let alone streets, even newly constructed roads no drainage(was there no drainage mapping in their designs, or did they not put pedestrians and other logistics in reducing accidents).
Even in Lagos where they manage to build flyover for pedestrian, some roads drainage is open(in this 21st century), while some with drainage don't have a flow point to empty it in a bigger drainage/canal

it's recently that flyover pedestrian is being remembered in some major roads in lagos

Hope e go last?

Concrete Roads vs Asphalt Roads

Asphalt roads wear more than concrete roads, but many countries are replacing concrete roads with asphalt because it is cheaper, despite concrete roads having some major advantages. Learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the different road paving surfaces in this article.

Advantages of Concrete Roadways

1. Durability and maintenance free life: Concrete roads have a long service life of forty years, whereas asphalt roads last for ten years. More over, during this service life concrete road do not require frequent repair or patching work like asphalt roads.

2. Vehicles consume less fuel: A vehicle, when run over a concrete road, consumes 15-20% less fuel than that on asphalt roads. This is because of the fact that a concrete road does not get deflected under the wheels of loaded trucks.

3. Resistant to automobile fuel spillage and extreme weather: Unlike asphalt roads, concrete roads do not get damaged by the leaking oils from the vehicles or by the extreme weather conditions like excess rain or extreme heat.

3. Greener process: Asphalt (bitumen) produces lots of highly polluting gases at the time of melting it for paving. Also, less fuel consumption by the vehicle running on a concrete road means less pollution.

4. Saving of natural resources: Asphalt (bitumen) is produced from imported petroleum, the reserve of which is becoming reduced drastically. On the other hand, concrete (cement) is produced from abundantly available limestone.

Disadvantages of Concrete Roadways

1. Paving cost: The paving cost of the concrete road is little higher compared to asphalt paving.

2. Maintenance Problem: In case the concrete road breaks, the whole concrete slab needs to be replaced.

3. Safety features: In rainy and the winter season vehicles tend to slip or slide on concrete road due to rain and snow.

Advantages of Asphalt (Bitumen) Road


1. Economical: Asphalt is still less costly compared to concrete. Moreover, it takes less time to build a asphalt road than a concrete road. (Asphalt dries faster.)

2. Recyclable: Asphalt is a recyclable material. It can be used again and again by melting it.

3. Easy maintenance: Repairing just a part of the asphalt road is easily possible. Asphalt roads even can be relayered over the old layer.

4. Safe: Asphalt roads provide better traction and skid resistance for vehicles. Asphalt tends to help keep roads free from ice and snow.

Disadvantages of Asphalt (Bitumen) Road

1. Durability: heavy rain and other extreme weather conditions damage the asphalt road, and the roads need to be repaired frequently.

2. Weather Pollution: Melting asphalt produces lots of harmful green house gases. Also costly petroleum is required to produce asphalt.
Conclusion

Concrete roads are highly durable and more environmentally friendly as compared to asphalt roads. However asphalt paving costs far less than concrete paving. Also, asphalt road provides a little better safety of the vehicle against snow and skidding.

Just tell your governor to fix the road...so many communities would benefit from it. The contract was given in 2007...so you can imagine

this kind of road is for water logged areas...

But Bread get label..

You language is so dirty. Lear how to address issue. You have good observation but expressed it wrongly.

What is wrong with this guy naaaaa? First there's nothing like cement based its 'concrete-based'. Secondly Concrete is not black. Why post this kinda nonsense just to get attention? Why will you say this is cement based, abi dem don mix cement with asphalt? Abeg remove this post ASAP.
